The Text node simply adds text to the screen. You simply write the words you want either directly on the preview screen or in the value setting of the inspector.

You can then apply formatting properties: font type and style, size, color, highlighting, alignment...

Components

Text

Text defines the value of the displayed text.

Value

Allows you to define the content of the text to be displayed.

Layout

The layout controls how the text is rendered visually and formatted.

Font

Allows you to choose a font from Google Font. If a font has different variants (italic, bold...), you can specify which one to use.

Size

The size of the font in pixels.

Color

The color of the text.

Decoration

Allows you to underline or cross out the text.

Align

Specify the alignment of the text:

Left**: align the text to the left.
center**: center the text.
right**: align text to the right.
justify**: justify the text.

Style

The style manages the general visual properties applied to this node.

Background

Control the background (image, color, or gradient) of the node.

Opacity

Control the opacity of the node.

Rounding

Controls the radius of the rounded outer corners of the node. You can set the radius for all corners (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) or for each corner individually.

Border

Controls the shape, color and thickness of the node's border.

Thickness**: The thickness of the border. You can set the thickness for all borders (top, left, right, bottom) or for each one individually.
Shape** : the style of the border.
Color** : the color of the border.

Shadows

Allows you to add one or more shadows to a node. Each shadow is defined by :

type** : whether the shadow is inside or outside the node box.
x:** specifies the horizontal distance. Negative values place the shadow to the left of the element.
y** : specifies the vertical distance. Negative values place the shadow above the element.
blur** : the larger this value, the more blurred the shadow becomes, so it is larger and lighter.
Dispersion**: positive values make the shadow expand and grow, negative values make the shadow shrink.

Blur

Applies blur to the background of the node only, to create an iOS-style glass effect. The larger the value, the greater the blur.

Layout

The layout allows you to place and position your node in relation to its siblings (those of the same parent node).

Width

Controls the width of the node.

px** : defines the width of the node in pixels.
%** : sets the width of the node as a percentage of the width of its parent.
fit**: automatically adjusts the width of the node according to the width of its content.
grow** : specifies how much of the parent's remaining space should be allocated to the node.

Height

px** : defines the height of the node in pixels.
% : defines the height of the node as a percentage of the width of its parent.
fit** : automatically determines the height of the node according to the width of its content.
grow** : specifies how much of the parent's remaining space should be allocated to the node.

Top

Controls the top margin between the node and its neighbor.

px** : defines the margin in pixels.
%** : sets the margin in percentage of its parent's width.
auto** : automatically sets the margin to the remaining space in its parent. If there are several nodes with the upper margin set to auto, the remaining space is divided equally between each node.

Right

Controls the right margin between the node and its neighbor.
